President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration guest list will include some of America's most influential billionaires, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos—signaling a sharp political shift among the tech industry's biggest players.
Silicon Valley, traditionally a stronghold for left-leaning ideals, has largely embraced Trump following the November election. The incoming president amassed a record-breaking inaugural fund with substantial donations from tech executives.
The heads of companies such as Google, OpenAI, Apple, Uber, and Microsoft have also forked over millions to fund inaugural events, including parades and swanky parties.
Several high-profile tech titans visited Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in the past two months.
"Jeff Bezos came," Trump said last week. "Bill Gates came. Mark Zuckerberg came. Many of them came numerous times. The bankers have all come. Everybody is coming."
The move represents a major departure for Big Tech, which largely imposed a temporary ban on Trump's public profiles in 2020 via their social media platforms. These companies have also become more critical of the Biden administration, voicing displeasure with the White House's attempts at oversight.

And while "Michael Corleone" did say that in the movie The Godfather Part II.
The actual origin of the quote was from Machiavelli in "The Prince" which is the definitive primer on how to be a dictator.
And CEO of TikTok too lol.
Overall, this isn’t good news. They tried lawfare, canceling and assassination. They they are trying guile and seduction.
Zuckerberg is a leech.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
Do we have an oligarchy or only quasi oligarchy?
MengeleGates needs to kneel in pig shit, and then be rejected .
I think Zuck is afraid he will lose subsiding for his rockets that don’t fly.
All three of them are up to their necks in the swamp.
Give them enough rope to hang themselves, then cancel all their .gov contracts and get Congress to get rid of all the subsidies and carve-outs that created such modern Shibboleths, (i.e. not Titans).
Same story during the Stormy Daniels days.
I still believe Trump was innocent. Grifters like her and that delusional E. Jean Carroll who made up a memory from EITHER 1995 or 1996 to bilk him out of millions.
“Jeff Bezos came,” Trump said last week. “Bill Gates came. Mark Zuckerberg came. Many of them came numerous times. The bankers have all come. Everybody is coming.”
They were worried that Trump might cut back on the amount of H1b visa invaders.
Dear President Donald J. Trump, please do not trust nor believe anything which Zuckerberg, Bezos or any other dim, lefty, liberal, dim-socialist, communist, authoritarian, totalitarian, dictatorial-two faced beings, say. They have already shown their colors.
In addition, Faux news is not your friend. They have placed Musk alongside Bezos and Zuckerberg as if they are peas in a pod.
I'm sure President Trump knows what a snake Zuckerberg is. He's dealt with many snakes in his life. Zuckerberg is just one more.
Well said.
Kinda like this new version of evil...
“””Overall, this isn’t good news. They tried lawfare, canceling and assassination. They they are trying guile and seduction.”””
I agree. The oligarchs used their money to get Democrats elected so the Democrat puppets would engage in lawfare against MAGA.
Now the oligarchs are moving inside the GOP to stop the MAGA agenda.
The only good news out of this is that the Democrats will no longer have any money, nor will the Democrats have any viable candidates or programs that are popular with the majority of Americans.
“Well said.”
Thank you, but I forgot to add the absolute worst of the bunch: RINOs
